Re: FS: Vintage Aquastar Benthos 500 -- SOLD

The watch is now sold. Thank you to the Buyer from Monaco.
Thank you to Jeff and CT for the space.

I purchased this piece from the original owner. The caseback has
: never been opened to my knowledge. If you'd like to see the
: movement I would have to take it to my watchmaker when he opens
: on Tuesday afternoon.

: All the markers on the dial and lume are intact and free from
: flaking. The orange sweep hand off-sets slightly (as seen), but
: this was one of their well-known quirks. The case has never been
: polished and is free of nicks and retains its original starburst
: finish. The Navy Blue dial and bezel are clean and free of
: scratches to the naked eye. The only scratches are on the back
: of the lugs from strap changes, and they're minor at that and
: will polish out. The uni-directional bezel ratchets as it
: should. Running well but not timed for accuracy. I will include
: two new NATO straps, a 20mm NSA bracelet, and its original
: Isofrane strap/buckle.

: I can confidentially state that this piece is the cleanest example
: of this model I have ever seen.

: I would like to be close to my $2,950 asking price. Face-to-face in
: the Los Angeles area or free insured shipping to the CT members
: in the states, about $50.00 to Europe. Wire, or PayPal (plus
: 4%). Customs declarations to be discussed.
